N2  - Infected human bite wounds of the hand may result in loss of function. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent such complications as septic arthritis and osteomyelitis. Principles of treatment include thorough debridement and irrigation, culture and sensitivity studies, leaving the wound open, bulky hand dressing and intravenous antibiotics to cover both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
